Instruction on the Sixteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's The Church's Year At the Introit of the Mass implore with great confidence the mercy of God in the words of Ps. LXXXV.: INTROIT Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day; for thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild, and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee. Bow down thy ear to me, O Lord, and hear me, for I am needy and poor. Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. COLLECT Let Thy grace, we beseech Thee, O Lord, ever precede and follow us, and make us continually intent upon good works. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen. EPISTLE (Ephes. III. 13-21) Brethren, I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory. For this cause I bow my knees. to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man, that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that being rooted and founded in charity, you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth:, to know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge, that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God. Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us: to him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus, unto all generations, world without end. Amen. EXPLANATION

The Blood Oath

By Anna Von Reitz

If we are Christian we all have a Water Oath (Baptism) and a Blood Oath (Communion).  These are not our puny oaths. These are Covenant Oaths guaranteed by God.  When we do our part, He promises to do His.

In Communion we accept the Blood Oath of Jesus on the Cross declaring "It is finished!" 

When I accept His Oath and enter into Communion, His words apply to me--- it is finished and done. 

Satan has no more hold over me and I have no more debts to pay Satan.
